RE: Removing tests

^ Another seemingly potentially aggressive cleaning step, this is a good thing to have before we move forward with the new test suite.

RE: Removing tests

Are they currently unused? Are you putting together another test set?

RE: Removing tests

This set is unused. There are tests under numpy/f2py/tests which are run with runtests.py. There are plans to update these for consistency; basically to extract the fortran snippets into their own file instead of keeping them in the python code.

Here is an extract of the logic behind this:

At the moment it seems like the newer tests use code and suffix to put the fortran source inside the test_*.py (8336e76#diff-beaa766b50d9c2a8df83b293fa468e786d9ffb8b10d3f2a44d46d81084abd022)

However, the older tests had (IMO) a nicer structure with the source code in a separate f/90 file (even though the older test style can be cleaned up now).

As an example of the older test approach it is the one in test_mixed.py or test_common.py (8042526).
For new tests, I'm thinking the split .f90 and test_*.py style should be used (with pathlib instead of the _path helper)

In case it is useful for writing tests, Fortran Lang uses fypp templates. I suspect you know that already :)
